“One of the aims of physical training is to make exercise interesting
and enjoyable. To be beneficial in the highest sense it must be
recreative. Particularly is this true of physical exercise for
business men. As a class, in their daily work, they are kept on a
constant mental strain. Besides, they are, to a large degree,
physically inactive. Life becomes too intense, too serious, too
sordid. Exercise therefore, for business men, must be largely
recreative, relaxing and restful.”—_Extract from Spalding Athletic
Library, No. 262—“Exercises with the Medicine Ball.”_
